May is #TraumaAwarenessMonth.

Got certified in #StopTheBleed program. Thanks to Baylor Scott & White Health Grapevine for offering this program to the public.

Maine et al described the first national look at surgical outcomes in incarcerated patients in this EAST Multi-center Study. How can we improve trauma and surgical care for this population? journals.lww.com/jtrauma/Abstra… #JoTACS #HealthDisparities #MedEd Mary Kate Bryant

Residents and fellows move through our program and don’t necessarily get to see their patients recover. When we have a really big “save,” I ❤️updating that their patients are thriving and back with their families. Better than publications. Or awards. Any day.

⁦Ronald Stewart⁩ - firearms now the leading cause of death in US children. The public health approach has decreased deaths from MVC - must apply the same principles to firearm violence.

Food insecurity was independently associated with firearm assault and trauma. These findings support the plausibility of food insecurity interventions to reduce firearm trauma. #JoTACS #SurgTwitter #SocialDeterminantsOfHealth #MedEd journals.lww.com/jtrauma/Abstra… @aymannnali

Improving Trauma System performance is an ongoing and iterative process where data plays a key role!

Surgical Critical Care is more than ICU management of operative patients. It’s critical care applied with a surgical mindset, synergizing technical expertise, anatomy, & physiology. This White Paper from AAST SCC Committee explores the specialty journals.lww.com/jtrauma/Fullte…

The Fragmented approach to Violence is failing us in tackling this public health crisis. An Office of National Violence Prevention The White House will ensure a comprehensive, coordinated, and sustained effort at the local, state, and federal level. #ONVP bit.ly/OfficeNVP

We are SO excited to hold #SAFERTrauma2023 in Chicago Aug 2-3, where we will develop research to eliminate disparities in the care of trauma patients! More info here: bit.ly/3IHR7X7 EAST WesternTrauma AAST American Burn Association ACS COT SocietyTraumaNurses

Surgical risk is simply NOT linear. It is time we elevate our risk adjustment models in national databases to reflect the new era of #AI reality. Credit goes to Ander Dorken Gallastegi who translated & executed what started as a vague idea & to Steven D Wexner MD, PhD SURGERY Journal for seeing the value.

How can #AI and #MachineLearning empower nurses to deliver top-notch care to critically injured patients? Nicole Cook, APRN MSN, a trauma clinical nurse specialist (and widely proclaimed Trauma Llama), thoughtfully addresses this issue.

The End of Subjective Surgery! In the March 2024 issue of D CEO magazine , Will Maddox provides an insightful exploration of how artificial intelligence is enhancing care for patients suffering from traumatic injuries. I had the privilege of contributing to this impactful

An important #FathersDay message from me…WEAR A HELMET ! This week I had a bad accident while riding my bike in CT. I'm doing ok and I’m thankful for all the doctors, nurses and staff at @LMHospital who looked after me but most thankful for my helmet that saved my life. Be Safe

Although MRI is often used in the evaluation and management of TBI patients, its exact role remains poorly defined. This study describes features associated with the early use of MRI in a large sample of patients from the National Trauma Data Bank. ❇️ journals.lww.com/jtrauma/abstra…
